I had seen Bartok The Magnificent several years ago and I recently re-watched it. Along with The Pebble And The Penguin and A Troll In Central Park, Bartok The Magnificent is not as good as An American Tail, All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Land Before Time, and especially The Secret Of NIMH. While re-watching it, I expected to be really corny but it's by no means awful and there are actually some good things about it. The animation is quite nice and there are some pretty cool characters. Baba Yaga is suitably menacing, Pilaf is adorable, and Zozi and the skull crack me up. On the flip side, the script/story suffered from being somewhat predictable and I don't care for the songs. Also, Bartok is kind of annoying but is actually less annoying here than he is in Anastasia. Not the best movie ever but nowhere near as bad as it could have been. PS: The way Baba Yaga reacts to being hugged is absolutely hilarious.
